I am so pissed off with self appointed somebodies deciding that they have the right to change our lifestyle and history because they had a half baked idea.
Well I wrote this the other day to try to get it off my chest.

AUSTRALIA DAY
A note to those who wish to ignore our past

Please allow me to have my say,
Before ignorance kills Australia Day.
The first Fleet landed on January 26th 1788
And January 26th is The Australia Day Date,

600 prisoners who were committed to death
Chained ,wet, malnourished and in poor health
After 81/2 months were brought to land
Many so feeble they were unable to stand.

Cruelly condemned by an elitist class
For a loaf of bread, an egg or rejecting a lustfull pass
And would have hanged had they not made this trip
Where these the invaders that came in this ship?

I am offended with your rejecting this fact
For I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this act
My ancestors came chained in this way.
And because they survived, my Grandson is here today,

And some of you paler indigenous sisters and brothers
Would not have the chance to make fathers and mothers
Had it not been for these gallant arrivers
They weren’t invaders, they were survivors.

And with that you have described how I feel about Australia Day, I
am a very proud First Fleeter with both my great, great plus a few
more greats gran mum and dad being transported along with being
proud of the fact that my great, great plus a few more greats uncle
was the second WHITE person to be born on Australian shores from
the transported colony.

To all you fucktard wanks who want to change Australia Day date, go
and get yourselves well and truly fucked and to all those scumbags
who refer to it as Invasion Day, well get over it and except the fact
that that's what happens when you are stupid enough to turn up to
a gun fight with sticks.

We see a German person or persons in the street, do we ostracize them for invading other countries in 1914 and 1939? No, that was their forebears from 103 and 78 years ago, nothing to do with the current generation of Germans.

We see a Japanese person or person in the street, do we ostracize them for getting into the act and invading countries in 1941? No, that was their forebears from 76 years ago, nothing to do with the current generation of Japanese.

So why the fuck are we still copping shit for what our forebears did 229 years ago.

Most countries were invaded and taken over at some point in the past, be it for religious or financial gain or just some fucktard leader who was drunk with power. None of those people today are made to pay like our generation is here.

I have no problem with indigenous people owning their spiritual land, celebrating their culture and affinity with that land. I’ve worked and known some bloody good indigenous blokes who I have called my friends and they did not blame me for what my ancestors did. These days it is more the “whiter” indigenous people who stir the pot. We call it Australia day, they call it invasion day. Fair enough, but don’t keep blaming this generation for what happened over 200 years ago and don’t try and change Australia Day because this is my country too.

We the Whities call it Australia Day for all Australians, the Black Fella who wants to gain from whatever is their agenda, call it Invasion Day.

If truth is told, and we the so-called whities who stole Australia from the black fella, gave it back, walked out and took everything we developed and left it to them without no outside influence within one generation they would be sitting in huts hunting for food.

I do wonder why my Great Great Grandfather took a white woman for a bride ( my grandfathers side), as my Great Great Grandmother took a white man as her husband, ( my Grandmothers side ), we did reach out to the past to move forward, or do we move forward looking back at the past.
